Police warn Black 505 organisers not to hold rally Posted: 18 Jun 2013 05:18 PM PDT Muzliza Mustafa, TMI The organisers of this Saturday's Black 505 rally will face prosecution as they have not received approval from City Hall to use Padang Merbok in Kuala Lumpur for the gathering. They will be investigated for contravening the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA) 2012 if they go ahead with it. This was the warning issued by Dang Wangi police chief Assistant Commissioner Zainuddin Ahmad today. He said although the organisers had been given the police the required 10-day notice, they had not received approval for the use of the field from City Hall. The police will not make any preparations to accommodate the rally but warned they will be there to enforce the law. The Black 505 gathering is being organised by Pakatan Rakyat to protest the alleged fraud at the recent polls. It is also to pressure the top two in the Election Commission to resign for their alleged failure to conduct a free and fair election.  READ MORE HERE

New DAP man turns on his party after elections Posted: 18 Jun 2013 03:47 PM PDT (The Star) - A former Umno man who joined DAP last year has now turned on the Opposition party, saying it had fielded too few non-Chinese members in the General Election. Aspan Alias was among those not picked to stand for the elections. Aspan, a former Negri Sembilan Umno veteran, said DAP also had too few non-Chinese in key party positions. "How can this be? If you say that you are fighting for multi-racialism, you must show it in terms of having Malays, Chinese and Indians well represented," he told The Star. Aspan joined DAP along with fellow Umno member Datuk Mohd Ariff Sabri Abdul Aziz, who had won the Raub parliamentary seat in the May 5 elections. He said he signed up with DAP because he felt that Barisan had failed to develop national unity, but has since realised that DAP itself did not trust other races, especially the Malays. "DAP attacks Barisan Nasional as racist, but many forget that DAP is racist, entirely," he said. "Now, I don't care if the party wants to sack me, because to me, a party is just a vehicle and my objective is more important. "My objective is to achieve national unity," he added. Increasingly vocal in criticising both Pakatan Rakyat as well as Barisan Nasional in his recent blog entries (http://aspanaliasnet.blogspot.com/), Aspan said that he decided to speak up as he was worried about racial harmony in the country. "Many people do not understand what nationhood is because to them it is just about a political struggle in order to win positions, so we need a new approach in order to bring a fresh start to the nation," he said. Aspan said that a national dialogue should be organised among all groups in society to foster national unity and to find a new approach in order for the country to move forward. He suggested that Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah be invited to lead such a national dialogue as he was widely considered as a political figure who understands the issue intimately, as he had experience living through many tumultuous periods in Malaysia's history. Meanwhile, DAP national organising secretary and the Negri Sembilan party chief Anthony Loke said that Aspan was merely disappointed that he was not picked to contest in the elections. He also dismissed Aspan's claims, calling him "unimportant". "He is just an ordinary member. He can say what he wants. The party leadership will respond when necessary," he said. The party's disciplinary committee chief and national deputy chairman Tan Kok Wai also said that he will study Aspan's comments before deciding on any action.

Coming soon: New info on Scorpene deal Posted: 18 Jun 2013 03:20 PM PDT A lawyer will give fresh details on the scandal at a Suaram dinner next month. G Vinod, FMT Suaram will make a further expose next month of allegedly corrupt dealings in Malaysia's 2002 purchase of two Scorpene submarines. A spokesman for the human rights movement told a press conference today that a local lawyer would reveal new details of the scandal at a fund raising dinner scheduled for July 19 at the Petaling Jaya Civic Centre. The lawyer has been in touch with the French authorities investigating the case, according to Peter Chong, who heads Suaram's Ops Scorpene unit. "The French court asked our team for the contact numbers of two Malaysian lawyers who are in the know of what transpired," he said. "One of them will be at the dinner." The case, which the French are investigating at Suaram's request, threatens to tarnish Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, who was Defence Minister at the time the submarines were purchased. The controversial murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibu has been tied to the case. Suaram chief Cynthia Gabriel told today's press conference that French investigators had traced the money trail to several companies located in Hong Kong and linked to "well-connected Malaysians". "The Hong Kong authorities are cooperating with the French team," she added. Responding to a reporter's question, she said the probe was taking a long time because of the nature of the French judicial system. READ MORE HERE

Fresh clash breaks out between Malaysia, Sultan followers Posted: 18 Jun 2013 12:24 PM PDT   (Phil Star) - Some 400 fighters and volunteers in the Royal Security Force (RSF) of the Sultanate of Sulu have engaged Malaysian security forces in a firefight in Kampung Dengan Tungku in Lahad Datu, Sabah on Monday afternoon, Abraham Idjirani, spokesman for the Sulu sultanate, said the fresh fighting was reported to him by Agbimuddin Kiram, brother of Sulu sultan Jamalul Kiram III and commander of the RSF. Agbimuddin reported that the RSF fighters were moving through Dengan Tungku at about 1 p.m. when they encountered the Malaysian troops. "There was a rather long exchange of fire. The RSF later was forced back into their base in Lahad Datu," Idjirani told the STAR. Idjirani said the RSF did not sustain any casualty during the firefight. There was no information about casualties on the Malaysian side. "The size of the RSF force involved in the fight would also give you an idea how large was the Malaysian force they had encountered. This only shows that Malaysia is really bent not to give up its hold on Sabah," said Idjirani. Idjirani added that the clash in Dengan Tungku was also confirmed by Hajib Mujaha Hashim, chairman of the Moro National Liberation Front's Islamic Command Council. Meanwhile, the sultanate of Sulu met with representatives of the Bayan Muna party list led by Satur Ocampo to tap the party's help in pushing for the Sabah issue at the House of Representatives.  Idjirani said the Sulu sultanate handed over to Ocampo several legal and historical documents detailing the sultanate's claim over Sabah. "We handed these documents for them to study. Ka Satur has promised that the Sabah issue will be pushed by Bayan Muna and seven other allied representatives at the House of Representatives," said Idjirani.

Malaysian story needs to be rewritten, says Dr Mahathir Posted: 18 Jun 2013 12:07 PM PDT   (Bernama) - "Going to the same school increases the chances of togetherness. I'm the product of this kind of school"  There is a need to rewrite Malaysian history books to include problems faced in the past and steps taken by the government to solve such issues, so as to offer a better understanding of the country's history to the younger generation. Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said this move would also help Malaysia to establish a more educated society, and "thus create more vocal leaders." It will also help unite Malaysians, create a rounded education for the young, he said in his keynote address titled Better Times Ahead for Malaysian Politics, Post General Elecetion-13 at the Perdana Leadership Foundation CEO Forum in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. "We need to do a lot of things. We should also learn from the history of other countries such as why the Arab Spring occurred. "Then we ask ourselves, do we want this to happen in this country? "There are some people who literally say they want to see an Arab Spring in Malaysia. They prefer to ignore stability, peace and overthrow the leaders. "Therefore, we need to settle down and understand what democracy is and tell them to trust the government," he added. Touching on education, Dr Mahathir suggested that having a national school under one roof for all races, can keep Malaysia peaceful, united and will help build a better future for its citizens. "The problem we face today is that we do not come together, and barely speak or use the national language. We should use it more (national language). "We should have less segregation in schools for example, and make it compulsory to use and learn the national language," he said. "Going to the same school increases the chances of togetherness. I'm the product of this kind of school," he said. On learning the national language, Dr Mahathir was curious as some foreign diplomats who worked in other countries like Indonesia could master the language of that particular country, but not in Malaysia. He said it was because Malaysians themselves communicated in English and not in their national language, and thus forgetting that language was one of the factors that unifies society.

School's in for first overseas campus Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:44 AM PDT Malaysian student Bong Meen Szer (center) takes part in calligraphy contest at Xiamen University. She welcomed the college's plan to open a campus in Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia.  (China Daily) - Cross-border expansion signifies China's growing clout and rising world interest in country, report Luo Wangshu in Chongqing, Cao Yin in Beijing and Wang Hongyi in Shanghai. Loke Pui Yan has been studying for her master's degree at Xiamen University in Fujian province since the autumn. The campus, which is along a beach, is a sight to behold. It is scattered with elegant historical buildings, enjoys pleasant weather and ocean breezes, and almost, but not quite, erases any feelings Loke has of culture shock and homesickness. Although the 29-year-old Malaysian has enjoyed her studies and her stay in China, she was thrilled to learn that the college is ready to establish a campus in her homeland. Xiamen University will be the first Chinese college to open a campus abroad to showcase its ideas and culture, improve China's image in the world and enhance relations with other countries. Unlike Western universities, which have flocked to China, the country has come late to the party. Now it is trying to play catch-up and ride the globalization of the education business. Over the past decades, a large number of overseas universities have come to China to set up joint institutions and exchange programs. The Ministry of Education put the number of joint projects now at about 1,500, including Shanghai New York University, Wenzhou Kean University and Kunshan Duke University. But the number of Chinese higher education institutes going out and establishing cooperation with overseas education bodies is small, although the Chinese government is supporting the internationalization of higher education to spread influence in the world, a process known as soft diplomacy. Zhang Xiuqin, director of international cooperation and exchanges at the Ministry of Education, said China will support and help eligible universities to go out and globalize. Xiamen University announced in February it will be the first one to take the step. And in May, Zhejiang University, one of the nation's top-five colleges, said it will also build a campus in London. It also has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for furthering academic collaboration with London University's Imperial College. Innovative model "This is indeed an exciting opportunity but needs much innovative effort," said Song Yonghua, executive vice-president of Zhejiang University, speaking of the establishment of the London campus. He said Zhejiang University and Imperial College will start exploring the feasibility of establishing facilities in the new Imperial West campus for joint academic activities. Xu Liping, deputy director of the South Asian Studies Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "It is innovative for Chinese universities to go abroad to show their educational ideas and culture." Most activities so far between Chinese universities and foreign institutes are too simple and superficial, and do not provide long-term development, Xu said. Chinese universities started to expand toward the end of the 20th century. With the fast development of colleges, many universities are seeking international cooperation, including faculty collaboration and student exchange programs. In addition to these programs, most Chinese universities reach foreign counterparts through Confucius Institutes, offering language and cultural classes. However, setting up campuses and granting degrees is still a new field. "Xiamen University is attempting to break through the superficial educational or teaching communications between countries," Xu said, adding it will be good for China to improve its image in the world and enhance its relationship with neighbors. Xiamen University's 60-hectare Malaysia campus will be built in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, at a cost of about 1.26 billion yuan ($205 million). Construction will start in January 2014 and recruitment will begin in the autumn of 2015. The first class intake will be 500 students. The student population will number 5,000 by 2020. The campus is ambitious to become home to 10,000 students, including 9,000 undergraduates and 1,000 graduate students. Five majors will be open to students in the first stage at the Malaysia campus: Chinese language and culture, Chinese medicine, computer sciences, economics and electronic engineering. All lectures will be in English, except for those on Chinese language and culture and Chinese medicine. Read more at: http://europe.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2013-06/17/content_16628675.htm

S'pore urges Indonesia to name firms responsible for causing haze Posted: 18 Jun 2013 09:37 AM PDT   (Channel News Asia) - Both Mr Shanmugam and Dr Balakrishnan referred to the claim by an Indonesian Forestry Ministry official in the media that Malaysian and Singapore palm oil companies that had invested in Indonesia may be responsible for starting the fires in Riau. Singapore Environment and Water Resources Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said there is a need to exert commercial pressure against companies causing the haze. Singapore has asked Indonesia to name the errant companies involved in illegal burning. The primary responsibility to take legal and enforcement actions against these companies lie with Indonesia - as they have clearly violated Indonesian laws within Indonesian jurisdiction. This was highlighted in a joint statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources. Earlier, Foreign Affairs Minister K Shanmugam and Minister for Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan had spoken to their Indonesian counterparts - Indonesian Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Marty Natalegawa and Indonesian Environment Minister Dr Balthasar Kambuaya - to register Singapore's strong concerns about the worsening haze situation. The two ministers highlighted that Singapore's PSI had breached 150 on Monday, and had entered the unhealthy zone. The Singaporean ministers emphasised the urgency of the situation while also reaffirming Singapore's commitment to help Indonesia fight the fires in Sumatra. Dr Balakrishnan requested that Indonesia share relevant information to improve monitoring of hotspots and land clearing activities. This had been agreed between Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand in October 2012.

Saudi Arabia may block WhatsApp within weeks Posted: 18 Jun 2013 09:35 AM PDT   (CNet) - Popular mobile chat app warned of possible blockage after voice and messaging app Viber was blocked last week. Saudi Arabia plans to block WhatsApp in coming weeks if the makers of the mobile chat app don't comply with local regulations. The warning comes after the Communications and Information Technology Commission blocked popular voice and messaging app Viber last week.

Beware of Hitler juniors Posted: 18 Jun 2013 12:30 PM PDT   It seems that the more extreme one's discourse is, the more it mesmerises and excites others.  Lim Mun Fah, Sin Chew Daily  The word sedition gets on many people's nerves as it equates a jail term if convicted. There was no lack of instigators historically, the most notorious one is the great dictator Adolf Hitler. The common characteristic of an instigator is always under the guise of a patriot or nationalist, holding the fulcrum of morality and is adept at seditious discourses. Take Adolf Hitler for instance, his charms, to a great extent derive from his volubility. His eloquence was even once analogised as a deadly excitant. Adolf Hitler's oratory is highly personalised. His refined language was dynamic. A ten minute speech of his is as inciting as a long one. It all attributed to his fomenting tongue. His tone is always aspirational, bringing his audience to a longing trance, mesmerizing them further to a restive abyss of total submission. Most people are deeply interested not only in Hitler's moustache that he wears above his mouth which is like a black sticking plaster the size of his nose, but also his unique delivery style inclusively which can be found from his biographical movies and documentaries. For example, he would not speak in full spate once he stepped on the stage but would play a trick of silence, letting his audience to quieten from unchecked nosiness. When the audience began to calm down and exchange murmurs, he would strike the chatterbox, from a monotonous tone to a haranguing one, building up a climax with hysterical effect. The contents of Hitler's talks prevail with his personal aspirations, calling others' as well. "Country", "nation", "revitalisation" and "righteousness" are the key words of all his speeches. "Our struggle has only two possible outcomes: it is either our enemy march on stepping our corpses or vice versa." Most Germans were boiling with hot blood agitated by Hitler's "quotations" and subsequently a historical havoc known as the Second World War was triggered. Luckily, German is a nation who is ready to admit mistakes and start afresh. Eyeing the German's rationality and self abstention redolent of the predominant Hitlerism in history, we cannot help but to wonder disbelievingly when the erstwhile Germans acted fanatically, in bigotry and stupidity abetted by an agitator. We might sigh and carry grave misgivings knowing that an agitator like Hitler will have followers everywhere. Hitlerian discourses, given any time and context, will be marketable. Unfortunately, in Malaysia, similar instigators and market for instigators do exist. Immediately after the general elections, reconciliation and rational calling is comparatively bleak. Aggressive and provoking discourses are justified and going strong. It seems that the more extreme one's discourse is, the more it mesmerises and excites others. Though these Hitler juniors are no match for the authentic Adolf Hitler in terms of charms and dexterity, they are like waiting tiny sparks, ever ready to kindle any fire anywhere to run their capers. Should we not beware?

Too much to ask? Posted: 18 Jun 2013 12:02 PM PDT   The government should remind itself that no one is above the law. Those who have wronged this society must be brought to justice.  The overwhelming majority of complaints to date on matters of serious concern, such as deaths in custody, have pertained to the police. This is a fact that cannot be ignored, just as we cannot blind ourselves to the fact that the EAIC simply does not enjoy the confidence of the majority of Malaysians, many of whom had not even heard of the commission until the current debate started. Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, fz.com  IN LATE May this year, Utah authorities arrested six individuals for the torture of their roommate, Thomas Chapman. They are alleged to have handcuffed him, repeatedly assaulted him with boards and sticks, kicked him repeatedly in the ribs and the head, and stapled his ears, chest and lips, all while he was being held at gunpoint. His assailants believed that Chapman had set one of them up earlier in the month.   Chapman was fortunate enough to have survived his ordeal. He was released and was able to go to the police with his story. Reports suggest that the six assailants have since been charged with, among other things, aggravated assault, an understated description of torture.   His assailants were clearly sick in the head, and some might say, psychopathic.   At about the same time in Malaysia, one N Dhamendran was being tortured in a strikingly similar way. He too was handcuffed, brutally assaulted (from what I have read in the media reports, the nature of injuries suggest he was struck repeatedly with an implement like a rotan), repeatedly kicked and punched, and had his ankles and ears stapled, among other things.   There is no disputing that he was tortured in the most horrific way. Lawyer and Member of Parliament N Surendran disclosed at a press conference that based on his reading of relevant medical reports, there were 52 significant injuries.   Dhamendran, however, did not live to tell his tale. He died while in police custody. His alleged assailants were police officers, three of who have since been charged with murder. The fourth appears to be on the run.   And for all the outrage being expressed over the death, which I share, the sad truth is that Dhamendran was just one of a series of persons to have died in custody. In the 11-day span from the date of Dhamendran's death, two other detainees, R James Ramesh and P Karuna Nithi, died in police custody.   Going back in time, there have been a number of other controversial deaths, with the names Kugan, Gunasegaran and Francis Udayappan coming to mind.   The Tun Dzaiddin Commission Report of 2005 recognised an alarming number of such deaths as well as a propensity towards brutality on the part of the police, factors that in the mind of the commission warranted the establishment of an independent oversight mechanism.   Official figures reinforce this concern. Last September, then home minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein told parliament that there were 209 deaths in police custody from 2000 until September 2012. Civil society groups say that the figure now stands at 221.   It is apparent that something needs to be done. This requires a consideration of not only measures aimed at accountability, but also measures aimed at ensuring that only appropriately qualified individuals – not just in terms of education or physical aptitude, but equally in terms of psychological and emotional make-up – can join the force.   Putting it bluntly, and without intending to disrespect the majority of police officers who serve this country without cause for complaint, those officers who have tortured and brutalised detainees, sometimes to the point of death, perhaps share the same kind of mental make-up as the assailants of Thomas Chapman. If so, how could this have been allowed?   It is time for the government to stop prevaricating over the subject. The price we are paying in human life is simply too high. The trend will continue until the government is willing to admit that it has a legal and moral obligation to deal with what is beyond doubt a matter of great national concern in a way that transcends political expediency.

• The reason cops shouldn’t abuse suspects
• Redefining the Malay Agenda

Pakatan Rakyat Boleh Jatuhkan Najib Menerusi Tengku Razaleigh Posted: 18 Jun 2013 04:40 PM PDT Rakyat apa lagi rakyat berbangsa Melayu tidak mudah untuk digerakkan mengikut apa yang diagendakan. Bukan mereka cerdik atau pintar tetapi begitulah sifat dan ciri-ciri yang ada kepada mereka, Bangsa Melayu adalah bangsa separuh masak - kebaratan pun tidak ketimurtengahan juga pun tidak. Sebahagian besar orang Melayu masih berfikir secara ortodoks. Puak pembangkang khasnya Anwar Ibrahim yang kagen dan kempunan hendak menjadi perdana menteri masih berusaha dengan cuba menafikan pilihan raya ke-13 tempoh hari. Anwar yang boleh dipuji beliau tidak pernah berputuas asa dan boleh mengubah segala janji dan ikrar politiknya. Sebelum ini dia bermadah akan bersara dalam politik sekiranya Pakatan Rakyat tidak menang. Saya sudah menduga awal-awal kenyataan (janji) itu sebahagian sebagai gimik dan modal politiknya demi meraih simpati. Maka dicarilah satu dalih atau alasan untuk mengatakan Pakatan Rakyat menang bagi membolehkan beliau terus berada dalam gelanggang politik. Maka angka 51% diambil untuk menghalalkan tindakan. Kononnya Pakatan Rakyat mendapat suara 51% undi popular berbanding dengan UBN yang mendapat 47%. Dengan figure-figure yang disihirkan itu maka halallah Anwar untuk memungkiri janji politiknya untuk bersara. Apapun kita ucapkan selamat kepada Anwar dan Pakatan Rakyat. Memang mereka tidak akan berpuas hati selagi Najib tidak jatuh dan di kalangan mereka (Anwar) yang akan dinobatkan sebagai perdana menteri. Orang yang mengatakan politik Pakatan Rakyat, baik Anwar, Lim Kit Siang dan lain-lain sebagai gilakan kuasa, orang itulah yang sebanarnya 'sinting' kerana seakan tidak mahu memahami politik itu yang mahukan kuasa. 'Budak'lah orang yang bermain politik tetapi tidak mahukan kuasa. Ayuh teruskan Anwar dengan cara anda. Selagi rakyat masih mempercayai degan cara anda, silakan. Cuma ingat sedikit sudah ada bidalan, sepandai-pandai tupai melopat akhirnya ke tanah juga. Setinggi mana bangar terbang akhirnya hinggap di belakang kerbau juga. Hidup ini asa lapan dimensi bukannya empat. Mungkin bidalan ini tidak tepat. Apa yang hendak diceritakan, rakyat mempercayai kita hari ini esok dan lusa, tetapi bukan selamanya. Makanya tektik dan strategi kena tukar. Bagaimana pun di sini saya ada formul kecil bagaiman kalau hendak jatuhkan Najib sebagai perdana menteri tanpa menunggu pilihan raya umum ke-14. Formula ini saya tidak mengira UBN akan tumbang. Tetapi khasnya untuk Najib semata-mata. Formula ini agak janggal dan tidak masuk akal. Namun kerana politik itu kadang kala di luar norma rentas pemikiran manusia, maka formula ini boleh dikira masih waras dalam kancah politik dan ia boleh dicuba. Untuk menggugurkan seseorang bukan semestinya menerusi pilihan raya umum. Pilihan raya adalah cara formal yang yang ketat dengan syarat-syaratnya.Tetapi mereka juga boleh digugurkan secara lain. Kalau semua orang berfikir untuk jatuhkan Najib menerusi pilihan raya, maka pilihan raya ke-14 masih jauh. Masih ada empat tahun 10 bulan lagi. Dalam masa itu Najib boleh mempersiapkan dan memperkemaskan dirinya. Najib boleh berusaha untuk mengukuhkan kedudukannya. Belum tentu PRU-14 jalan mudah dan rapoh menjatuhkan Najib. Makanya masa itu jangan dinanti. Ambil peluang dan cari jalan pintas. READ MORE HERE

Bila berbalah tentang dasar parti, jangan serang peribadi individu Posted: 18 Jun 2013 03:55 PM PDT Keputusan pilihanraya ke 13 sememangnya merupakan tanda aras dan memberikan banyak jawapan kepada isu-isu yang dibangkitkan oleh semua pihak sebelum pilihanraya itu diadakan. Malaysia sebagai sebuah negara yang memberikan semua rakyat hak untuk memilih akan memberikan semua jawapan yang di isukan dalam proses masing-masing mendapatkan sokongan dan kemenangan. Negara kita baru sahaja melepasi pilihanraya umum yang sangat panas semasa mengharung waktu berkempen beberapa bulan sebelum itu. Seperti biasa setiap pihak memberikan janji dan memaparkan manifesto masing-masing untuk menambat hati rakyat. Individu atau kumpulan yang menang bersukaria dan yang kalah berdukacita dan ada yang mengambil keputusan tidak menerima keputusan pilihanraya itu sambil memberikan tuduhan yang pilihanraya tidak diurus dengan baik dan 'transparent'. Keputusan ini juga memperlihatkan ada unsur-unsur kesombongan pada diri individu dan kepimpinan parti-parti kerana merasakan partinya atau dirinya sendiri sudah besar dan tidak akan tercabar lagi. Seperti biasa manusia mempunyai pemikiran sendiri dan memberikan pandangan secara baik dan jujur terhadap mana-mana parti yang terlibat dalam proses kemenangan dan kekalahan hasil pilihanraya itu. Banyak juga orang lupa jika kuat pada hari ini tidak semestinya kuat pada esok hari. Otot yang besar akan menjadi lembek dan mulut yang celupar itu akan membisu apabila sampai masanya. Ada manusia yang berfikir yang mereka akan hidup sihat sentiasa dan tidak akan menghadapi hari tuanya semata-mata kerana merasakan diri mereka sudah hebat. Kadangkala ada pemimpin kerana terlupa bahawa masa dan zaman sentiasa berubah sehinggakan lupa bila bercakap itu membezakan bercakap sebagai pemimpin parti atau sebagai individu. Ada yang tidak menyedari yang mereka itu sudah menjadi sombong semata-mata kerana merasakan yang mereka sudah berada di 'cloud nine', begitu glamor dan terlupa dari mana mereka datang dan kemana mereka akan pergi, sedangkan hidup masih panjang lagi perjalanannya. Saya sendiri baru mengalami secebis pengalaman apabila saya memberikan pandangan yang sebuah parti yang memperjuangkan 'multiracialism' itu sebenarnya tidak melaksanakan apa yang mereka laungkan dan perjuangkan. Komen saya dipetik oleh akhbar media perdana tempatan dan komen saya yang saya berikan secara jujur itu mendapat reaksi bernadakan peribadi yang tidak sepatutnya keluar dari seorang yang berkedudukan sebagai seorang pemimpin besar parti itu. Dia memberikan reaksi yang mengatakan saya ini bukannya orang penting (unimportant). Tidak pernah saya mengatakan saya seorang yang penting. Jika ada insiden-insiden yang saya mengakui diri saya sebagai penting tolong beritahu saya. Benar saya sememangnya tidak penting (unimportant) tetapi saya hanya memberikan komen sebagai 'ordinary citizen' atau seorang biasa yang melata dipinggiran politik ini. Saya bukannya seorang pemimpin pun. Oleh kerana saya tidak penting (unimportant) itulah persoalan timbul kenapa komen saya itu diberikan reaksi yang begitu ganas bunyinya? Jika komen yang tidak digemari itu datangnya dari seorang yang tidak penting (unimportant) maka tidak ada sebab pemimpin itu memberikan reaksi terhadap komen saya itu dengan nada yang agak angkuh dari seorang pemimpin yang bakal mengambil alih teraju parti itu? Saya dituduh kecewa kerana tidak menjadi calon dalam PRU 13 yang lepas dan ini merupakan komen yang sangat peribadi. Jika pun saya dijadikan calon ia tetap tidak melambangkan 'multiracialism' seperti yang dilaungkannya itu kerana ia akan hanya menambah bilangan Melayu di dalam senarai itu hanya menjadi dua orang sahaja dari seorang yang ada sekarang.

The reason cops shouldn’t abuse suspects Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:40 AM PDT In my last post about the police, I asked why cops shouldn't abuse "almost certainly" reprehensible prisoners. Some suggested I should ask how I would wish to be treated if I were the suspect. Some said there's a chance the person "looks like, but is not" the guilty person. Some reminded me of the axiom "innocent until proven guilty." There's truth in all those statements, but we can go deeper. It's often difficult to gather evidence or find sufficient, reliable witnesses to prove a crime. Rapists in particular benefit from this difficulty. And, many witnesses will not testify for fear of reprisals by friends of the accused. Yet, we insist that the burden of proof must be satisfied: we insist that the police must not only apprehend criminals, they must produce evidence that the suspects did indeed commit the crimes they are accused of. We insist the police must obtain the evidence quickly, without harming suspects. We insist that the police must protect those who testify about what happened. We expect the police to be like the Lotus plant which lives, stands upright and displays its beauty even in filthy ponds – we each have to excel at what we do. Yet, the police have to deal with bad folks more frequently than the rest of us. Period. It's not easy to remain different from the bad folks. And therein lies the challenge: bad folks taunt us; bad folks mock us; bad folks hurt us. The reason even a suspect is entitled to due process, entitled to be treated as innocent until proven guilty, entitled to be punished only by a duly appointed court of law, lies in civility. Being civil means treating each other politely and courteously, as fellow citizens with equal rights and responsibilities. [Seehere my post about the UN, Malaysia and civilization.] Civility is a response to dignity, seeing "worth" in people because they are people. On the 10th of December 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations passed The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration begins with the word "dignity:" "Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world," The Declaration was issued after the end of World War II, after atrocity upon atrocity had been committed upon citizens both by their own fellow-citizens and by citizens of other nations. The Declaration was one of several responses to the brutal treatment of civilians and Prisoners of War. This is the first part of Article 11: "Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence." So, why shouldn't the police – or anyone else for that matter – abuse even "almost certainly reprehensible prisoners"? It's because what I do to others is a reflection of who I am. And that, I believe, is the primary reason why some of us feel so angry about the abuse of even "almost certainly reprehensible prisoners." As I write this, I have in my mind's eye a short video of a number of young men who robbed a liquor store of a bottle of whisky and the contents of a cash register, threatening the cashier and a couple of others with a parang. In the previous paragraph, I said "some of us" because I saw comments on FB by others who basically said "the police should beat/shoot them."

Redefining the Malay Agenda Posted: 17 Jun 2013 11:38 PM PDT Uppermost in the UMNO vocabulary is the expression of the Malay Agenda, a potpourri of rights and entitlements that the party claims is fundamental for the Malays. This will be the main thrust of the party leaders' speeches during the upcoming UMNO General Assembly. With the results of GE13 and the Chinese and Indian communities' rejection of UMNO/the Barisan Nasional, it's natural to expect that everyone will have a wild time bashing the Chinese. Some nutty ones will ask for the Treason Act to be enacted—they will want the Chinese to be sent back to China and Islam and the Malay Rulers to be strengthened. These are the kind of steps the unthinking Malays in UMNO will be clamouring for, but all that will lead to is yet another show of misplaced anger and another round of wasted time. It would be far more constructive if they were to instead talk sensibly about why the Malay/Bumiputera community has been steadily leaving UMNO. It's no use ridiculing them for being "ungrateful"; instead, focus on the plight of young voters and how to overcome their concerns. To get these young voters back, party leaders have to offer more than just slogans and speeches laden with racial overtones. They need to address corruption, abuse of power, the wastage of resources and mindless bureaucracy. If Malay leaders could be honest enough to admit it, they would recognise that giving more power to the Malay Rulers and "strengthening Islam" (whatever that means) will not solve these problems. To be useful, the Malay Agenda has to be introspective. UMNO can continue to take the easy way out and just blame the Chinese, the ungrateful Malays and everyone else, but one of the most cited reasons why people are not supporting the party is the corruption of its leaders. Corruption denotes a system where those with money are able to overcome any policy or rule because the leaders are corruptible. So UMNO can shout "Hidup Melayu" loudly and clearly, but if the decision-maker, who is invariably Malay, can be bought then no policy or special privilege will save the Malays. Prime Minister and UMNO President Dato Sri Najib Razak mistakenly describes this as a perception problem, when it is all too real. To continue to deny this is a sign of weakness and unwillingness to address the future of his own people. Then look at education; if Umno thinks they should get more Malays to the universities because they can increase the quota then think again; these unemployed or unemployable graduates will be the ones who will pull them down in the next election. Its better to have  Malays / Bumiputras skilled  at the highest level by giving them proper training  in business and technical know how than sending them to universities .Just to increase the number of graduates so we have more than the Chinese is a silly strategy unless the standards are high and employment is assured. Learn from Singapore where they limit the number of graduates as a proportion of their population. Unemployed graduates and especially the unemployable ones are ripe for street marches.

Ku Li-Anwar, ideal pair to lead Malaysia Posted: 18 Jun 2013 03:29 PM PDT FMT LETTER: From Natesan Visnu, via e-mail The current talk of Tengku Razaleigh (Ku Li) for Prime Minister has created sensation among Malaysians. The possibility of Pakatan Rakyat forming the new government with 25 MPs from BN dissatisfied with Najib's leadership crossing over and requesting Ku Li to lead the pact for Putrajaya has reignited the interest in Malaysian politics after the General Election No. 13 disappointment. Ku Li as Prime Minister? With the recent developments, Najib or Anwar, now we have a seasoned 'new' player in Ku Li for Malaysia's top office. Najib is wrestling for dominance internally and externally. With weak component parties, domestic power struggle to retain his post as Umno's president, opposition's dominance on popular votes; it's hard to predict Najib's political future. Anwar has united Malaysians and weakened BN's dominance with his reformation agendas. Echoing on Mahathir's blog, the Malay chooses to support Umno despite their dissatisfaction within Umno leadership is due to Malay sentiments. On that note, for PR to really 'win' this election, they need to consider the idea of electing Ku Li as Prime Minister. In the past, PR has always backed Anwar to become the Prime Minister. But the political landscape has changed and Ku Li's influence within Umno and PAS could be capitalised to favour PR and the 'rakyat'. Why Ku Li? Ku Li is no stranger to Malaysian politics. He has an excellent track record serving government since 1960s. Due to his contribution and excellence leadership, he was made Minister of Finance (1976), Chairman of Asian Development Bank (1978), Chairman of Islamic Development Bank (1978) and Chairman of World Bank and IMF (1977). He was also responsible for setting up and developing PERNAS to uplift the poor Malays and reform Malaysian economy. He had a short fall back with Haw Par imbroglio in the 70s but managed to bring Sime Darby and London Mining Company back to Malaysian's control. He worked along with Mahathir and Khalid Ibrahim for the famous 'Dawn Raid' to wrench back Guthrie from the British. The 'Dawn Raid' marks the beginning for Mahathir's era where Malaysians taught Thatcher's led government a lesson by not being arrogant and the Brits were ashamed internationally with the tactical takeover. Apart from that, Ku Li was also responsible for the take over and formation of new business for various sectors; Mining (take over London Mining Company), banking (formation of Maybank), etc. His visit to China in 1971 resulted in an increase of trading with China from RM105.6 million (1971) to RM 1.6 billion (1980). In 1974, Tun Abdul Razak said ""From among the new blood, I intended to bring Tengku Razaleigh into the Cabinet. However, I have an important job for him, a job as important as that of a Cabinet Minister. I have decided to appoint him as Chairman and Chief Executive of Petronas, which is equivalent to being a Cabinet Minister". The rest they say is history. Today Petronas is a Fortune 500 company and the largest contributor for Malaysian revenue. Quoting from Mahathir's memoir, if Razaleigh had been patient, maybe he would be Malaysia's Prime Minister. Ku Li and Anwar leadership With Ku Li's experience and Anwar's reformation, the duo would be the ideal pair to lead Malaysia. Both have similarities in their political career, both rose within Umno rank at young age, both have experience opposing Mahathir, both have experience as Finance Minister and both were Prime Minister material. In the past, Ku Li has worked closely with DAP and PAS opposing BN. However, he disbanded Semanget 46 and rejoined Umno. Ku Li has always maintained a good reputation within Umno and he is seen as a wise politician. He still commands wide support at grass root level. In every crisis there will be an opportunity, PR has that opportunity now with Ku Li. Capitalising on Ku Li's influence, PR could pave their way to Putrajaya. Ku Li and Anwar could form the new government and spearhead the changes that every Malaysian aspires for. Ku Li as Prime Minister and Anwar as Deputy Prime Minister would be ideal for Malaysia's transformation and paradigm shift. Both leaders has advocated on many reform ideas and it's the time for both them to realise their ideologies. Critics on Ku Li The critics would argue on the basis that Ku Li has not demonstrated his loyalty in the past by rejoining Umno. In politics, the main concept is to serve for the people. Ku Li despite being with Umno now has questioned the government on issues related to Petronas royalty payment to Kelantan state government. He has been a neutral critic on government policies even after rejoining Umno. He has been sidelined from mainstream politics since his departure from Umno. The country has lost a credible leader that has been part of shaping the Malaysian politic and economy landscape since 1960s. Due to political reasons, he could not continue to serve for Malaysia and we have lost a great talent. This is the right time to use two great political leaders to reform Malaysia and prepare the younger leaders for future. On that note, Ku Li and Anwar would the perfect choice to lead the country and PR has an opportunity once again to deliver the Malaysian dream. The 'rakyat' waits in anticipation for the political direction of this country. The ball is in PR's court. READ MORE HERE

Young, Proud and Disillusioned Posted: 18 Jun 2013 11:48 AM PDT   Let us not forget that despite the protests, the state governments of Kelantan, Selangor and Penang have been sworn in. So, am I to understand elections were run "legitimately" in these states and not in the rest of the country?  Adam Netto As a Malaysian living abroad, I joined my fellow countrymen who made the trek down to respective consulates / embassies on the 28th of April 2013 to cast our vote. We had arrived at the same conclusion a while back that being thousands of miles away from the homeland would not prevent us from having our say in who should be given the reins of the country. Sadly, though, since the 5th of May 2013, I have become more and more disillusioned with the state of politics in Malaysia. I am deeply disappointed with both sides across the political divide and I will explain why. The protests led by Pakatan Rakyat that followed the results of the elections have been laughable. So, let me try to understand this. Pakatan Rakyat complained that the election were "rigged" to favor the ruling coalition way before the 5th of May 2013, took part nevertheless and started protesting when the results did not go their way? Personally, if I was going to place a bet and was certain beforehand that the game was "rigged", saving myself those few dollars would be a very simple choice. Some may dispute this analogy but I believe there were two choices here. Play the game, knowing it is "rigged", and accept the results gracefully or decide to boycott the "game" and bring world attention onto the matter. Let us not forget that despite the protests, the state governments of Kelantan, Selangor and Penang have been sworn in. So, am I to understand elections were run "legitimately" in these states and not in the rest of the country? Another issue that has been eating at me is the Lahad Datu incursion that occurred shortly before the elections which resulted in the unfortunate loss of life of our servicemen. We were given daily updates by all local news outlets and then all that stopped. What has happened since? Were we not technically at a "state of war"? Have they captured all remaining intruders? Are we looking to extradite their leader in Philippines? What are we doing to prevent something similar reoccurring? Instead of spending his time running around the country organizing protest rallies, should not the leader of the Opposition be asking these very important questions? On the other side of the political divide, the ruling coalition has been given a fresh mandate. Instead of putting the elections behind them and using this mandate to chart a path forward for Malaysia in very challenging economical times, all component parties of the ruling coalition are more interested in upcoming party elections.   Pray tell, who is running the country?

• Najib lega selepas bertemu Dr Mahathir
• Matangkah cara kita berpolitik?
• Lahad Datu: Tiada Pertempuran Dengan Kumpulan Bersenjata Sulu

Najib lega selepas bertemu Dr Mahathir Posted: 18 Jun 2013 03:49 PM PDT Terdapat beberapa sesi untuk meredakan kemarahan ahli-ahli Parlimen tidak berpuas hati: berjanji kepada ahli-ahli politik Umno yang mahu dilantik sebagai ahli lembaga pengarah syarikat berkait kerajaan (GLC) dan memantau komen dari tokoh berpengaruh seperti Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (gambar kanan) dan laporan mengenai Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah – boleh menjadi pencabar berpotensi. Kesimpulannya, ini adalah waktu mencabar bagi Najib. Akan tetapi Isnin lalu merupakan hari baik bagi perdana menteri. Dr Mahathir bertemu Najib dan memberi jaminan beliau percaya tidak perlu ada pertandingan bagi dua jawatan tertinggi Umno dalam pemilihan parti itu akhir tahun ini. Jaminan itu hadir selepas bekas perdana menteri itu memberitahu sekumpulan pengurus dana dalam satu sesi tertutup di Kuala Lumpur Jumaat lalu mengenai perlunya pertandingan bagi jawatan tertinggi Umno. Tidak pernah ada pertandingan bagi dua jawatan tertinggi itu semenjak Umno asal diisytiharkan haram pada 1988 dan Dr Mahathir menubuhkan Umno baru. Sumber dalaman memberitahu The Malaysian Insider Dr Mahathir percaya komen beliau kepada pengurus-pengurus dana telah disalah anggap. Akan tetapi mereka yang hadir pada sesi di sebuah hotel di Kuala Lumpur mengatakan Dr Mahathir mengkritik pimpinan dan percaya pertandingan akan menonjolkan ciri-ciri demokratik Umno selain dari meningkatkan imej Najib di mata orang ramai. Masih belum jelas apa yang menyebabkan Dr Mahathir mengubah pendiriannya mengenai pertandingan jawatan presiden dan timbalan presiden parti itu. READ MORE HERE

Matangkah cara kita berpolitik? Posted: 18 Jun 2013 02:39 PM PDT Beberapa siri demonstrasi dan perhimpunan diadakan sejak 8 Mei, dengan ucapan berbaur fitnah, tohmahan, maki hamun dan hasutan semakin galak dilakukan oleh mereka yang berkepentingan, lantas memanipulasi sentimen dan emosi orang ramai seolah-olah inilah cara politik baharu di Malaysia. Persidangan Dewan Rakyat bagi penggal pertama selepas PRU13 sudahpun ditetapkan bermula 24 Jun ini seakan-akan 'tidak bermakna' bagi anggota pakatan DAP-PKR-PAS meskipun mereka kini mempunyai 89 kerusi daripada keseluruhan 222 kerusi Parlimen. Persoalannya, dalam tempoh tujuh tahun lagi ke arah negara maju pada 2020, adakah corak berpolitik pakatan pembangkang ini boleh dinamakan politik matang? Mengupas persoalan itu, Prof Madya Datuk Dr Samsul Adabi Mamat dari Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) berkata untuk Malaysia menjadi negara maju menuntut anjakan paradigma rakyat menjadi lebih matang dengan setiap pihak mengamalkan cara berpolitik berimbang dan penuh kesederhanaan. Beliau berkata perbuatan seperti perhimpunan serta demonstrasi jalanan sebagai satu proses bangkangan dalam negara, merupakan ekspresi politik yang mampu mempengaruhi rakyat dan pada masa sama mendatangkan kerugian kepada negara dalam aspek ekonomi, sosial dan pembangunan. "Politik yang matang adalah politik yang mengamalkan kesederhanaan dan berimbang berbanding politik ekstrem yang akan memusnahkan negara. Ini yang rakyat perlu faham," katanya. Pensyarah Fakulti Sains Sosial dan Kemanusiaan itu berkata kestabilan politik sahaja tidak mencukupi seandainya tidak disertai kematangan berpolitik. Katanya ahli politik dan rakyat perlu faham bahawa negara bukan sahaja berdepan dengan cabaran dalam negara tetapi juga ancaman dari luar serta anasir asing yang bertujuan mewujudkan suasana tidak aman. Samsul Adabi berkata kematangan berpolitik juga boleh membawa maksud bahawa masyarakat berpengetahuan tinggi dan mengerti tindak-tanduk serta boleh membuat analisis mudah perbuatan mana-mana pihak sama ada ia bagus atau buruk untuk negara. Mengulas lanjut, beliau berkata Amerika Syarikat, Britain dan Jepun adalah contoh negara yang berjaya mengamalkan politik matang manakala Malaysia semakin bergerak ke hadapan menuju demokrasi yang progresif. Keputusan PRU13 yang menyaksikan pertambahan kerusi yang dimenangi pakatan DAP-PKR-PAS dengan bilangan pengundi yang keluar mengundi mencecah 84.8 peratus turut mencerminkan rakyat mengamalkan demokrasi untuk melakukan perubahan melalui undi. Namun mampukah pakatan pembangkang memainkan peranan mereka untuk mengawasi dan menegur kepada kerajaan atau hanya terus berpolitik dan memanipulasi sentimen dan emosi rakyat? "Bangkangan perlulah dilakukan secara berhemah. Sekiranya bangkangan yang dilakukan melampau… maka kerajaan perlulah bertindak tegas kerana ia akan memberi ancaman dalam soal keselamatan," katanya. Sejauh mana pula unsur kebencian, fitnah, demonstrasi, maki hamun dalam berpolitik masa kini mampu menjamin perpaduan di kalangan kaum terus utuh di masa hadapan? Mengamalkan elemen sedemikian, menurut Samsul Adabi hanya akan 'membunuh' rasa hormat sesama kaum di negara ini, bahkan akan mengheret negara ke arah kemunduran. Aktivis sosial Khairil Hafizd Khairuddin, 31, berpendapat politik yang diamalkan di negara ini adalah separuh matang memandangkan tindakan sesetengahpihak yang lebih mengikut emosi sehingga menjejaskan ketenteraman awam. Katanya kekurangan ilmu politik menjadi punca ada di kalangan rakyat mudah terpengaruh dan sanggup berdemonstrasi dan berhimpun tanpa memahami kesan perbuatan itu. "Adalah tidak matang untuk mana-mana pihak menyuarakan rasa tidak berpuas hati menerusi demonstrasi atau perhimpunan atau apa jua bentuk kerana apalah gunanya Parlimen dibentuk jika permasalahan rakyat gagal disuarakan di sana, dan kenapa perlu memilih jalan raya? "Pada saya ini semua bertujuan memburukkan imej kerajaan dan negara selain mahu menjayakan agenda pihak tertentu termasuk pihak asing," katanya.

Lahad Datu: Tiada Pertempuran Dengan Kumpulan Bersenjata Sulu Posted: 18 Jun 2013 12:22 PM PDT "Tiada insiden seperti itu berlaku. "Tiada berlaku sebarang pencerobohan atau pergerakan sesiapa. Tiada apa-apa berlaku," katanya. Menurut beliau, dakwaan sedemikian adalah berniat jahat dan bertujuan untuk mencetuskan huru-hara. Mohamad berkata, polis sedang meneruskan siasatan terhadap seorang remaja perempuan berusia 14 tahun yang mendakwa diculik sekumpulan lelaki bertopeng di Kampung Tanagian, dalam Zon Tanjung Labian, Lahad Datu pada petang Isnin sebelum mereke menghilangkan diri. Media Filipina melaporkan bahawa kira-kira 400 lelaki bersenjata Sulu bertempur dengan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia di Kampung Tungku dekat Lahad Datu pada petang Isnin. Jurucakap kumpulan bersenjata Sulu, Abraham Idjirani mendakwa pertempuran itu dilaporkan kepadanya oleh Agbimuddin Kiram yang juga adik kepada Sultan Sulu, Jamalul Kiram. Abraham mengakui mereka memasuki Kampung Tungku kira-kira pukul 1 petang sebelum bertembung dengan pasukan keselamatan Malaysia.
